Molecular Biomarkers: Biotechnology Exploring Modern Tools to Manage Breast Cancer
When it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk making this disease to afflict millions of individuals worldwide every year with significant mortality. Many pieces of research and efforts have been put forth in order to circumvent this problem. Moreover, since this disease is also related to lifestyle activities, early intervention of the disease has shown encouraging outcomes. Ann Jillian has rightly said “ There can be life after breast cancer. The prerequisite is early detection.” What we need today is to define and design foolproof parameters for early detection of the disease along with grading and staging. Towards this direction, it has been seen in many studies that in many cancers, there is an abnormal production of some molecules which can be easily measured in the plasma, aka tumor markers. Human Chromosome 17 harbors crucial genes importantly found mutated in breast cancer. BRCA1 , TP53, and ERBB2 are located in this chromosome. BRCA1 , TP53, and gene ...
